Michelle Obama: ‘Instead of Pointing Fingers and Placing Blame, Barack Got to Work’

First lady Michelle Obama, speaking in Gainesville, Fla., on Monday, said that while the nation was on the verge of another Great Depression, President Barack Obama did not assign blame – instead “he got to work.”

“The economy was losing 800,000 jobs every month, and a lot folks wondered whether we were headed for another great depression. Now this is what Barack faced on day one as president. That’s what awaited him, but instead of pointing fingers and placing blame, Barack got to work, because he was thinking about folks like my dad, like his grandmother,” the first lady said.

“Since the day he took office, on issue after issue, crisis after crisis, that’s what I’ve seen, that’s what we’ve all seen in my husband. We’ve seen his values at work. We’ve seen his vision unfold. We’ve seen the depths of his character, courage, and convictions. Here’s proof: Think back to when Barack first took office, and our economy was on the brink of collapse,” she said.

“he got to work”

“Bailing out” (taking over) auto industry, Wall St

Paying back cronies with Keynesian “stimulus”

Enabling the Caliphate

Unsecuring the Southern border

Arming the Mexican cartels

Instigating class warfare with Marxist rhetoric

Ect.

I guess he got a second fulltime job, being a golfer.

He’s worked very hard considering he’s a part-time President. I mean, he’s able to do all his “Presidenting” in a few minutes a week. He figured out he could avoid getting bogged down by skipping most of those “security” briefings; his own jobs council meetings, they weren’t necessary for him, either.

Trouble is, his pay was never adjusted to part time.

I guess he’s been very successful as well, since his goal was to push America into disastrous decline. I mean, he’s not done yet, but he’s got a few more months... er... minutes left to finish up.

Keep on lying. We’ll counter-act with the truth.

Guess they will break out the girls next.

Just saw an ad for a movie to be released Oct 12 about the 1979 Embassy takeover.....called “ARGO” by GK Films —
Produced by G Clooney and directed by Ben Affleck...
so guess shouldn’t expect too much - they will probably depict that J Carter was ready to get the hostages back and everything got screwed up by RR getting elected????

Obama has done nothing but point fingers and assign blame(to bush) for all his problems.

Really it is amazing what theses people say.
